will have made a long stride toward the acquirement of such mastery.
The strike has been ordered, not because of any disagreement between
employers and employed with regard to wages or to the hours of labor,
but because certain companies have refused to put in the hands of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers the means of
forcing every non-union workman employed by those companies to join that
society. Were the principle asserted by the Amalgamated Association
to be accepted by the three companies now subjected to coercion, it
would presently be applied to every constituent company of the United
States Steel Corporation, and, this colossal combination of capital once
conquered, all outside representatives of the iron and steel industries
would, of course, speedily succumb. From that moment all the employers
of skilled labor in this vast field of production would be at the mercy
of the employed, firmly organized as they all would be in American
counterparts of the British trade unions, with regard not only to the
rate of wages and the hours of labor, but also to the encouragement of
inventive talent and the introduction of improved machinery. The bright,
and thus far continually brightening, outlook of the iron and steel
industries of the United States would have been eclipsed forever.
There could be no better time than the present to answer once for all the
question whether American manufacturers of iron and steel will bow their
necks to the yoke which their British competitors have long found too
heavy to be borne.—N.Y. Sun.

During last May an infant child of our neighbor was suffering from
cholera infantum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery. I took
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhœa Remedy to the

directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is
now vigorous and healthy. I have recommended this remedy frequently and

Friendship.
Once we were the best of friends,
I was happy and light hearted:
Now from some unknown cause,
That friendship has departed.
We’ve strolled oft at Lakeside Park,
And watched the green leaves quiver,
We’ve said many tender things,
We’ll say no more forever.
Oh, friendship thou art but a name,
A few words warmly spoken,
A few promises lightly made,
To be as lightly broken.
The time will come and maybe soon,
You’ll see you were mistaken,
And long again for the friendship true,
Of one you have forsaken.
You think my heart is cold and proud,
You doubted love when strongest.
In future you will live to learn,
Proud hearts can love the longest.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease and requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

Does it Pay to Buy Cheap?
A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something
that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in
either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all
civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles,
“Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tissues
to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s rest and cures the patient. Try ONE
bottle. Recommended many years by all druggists in the world. Get Green’s
Prize Almanac. St. Bernard Drugstore.

Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, stimulate the nervous and organic action
of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You only need a few doses of Green’s August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing the matter
with you. Get Green’s Prize Almanac. St. Bernard Drugstore.

The drouth is simply fearful. Corn, tobacco, gardens, and in fact
everything growing out of the ground is ruined. So many failed to sow
wheat last fall, and should the dry spell continue a few days more they
will be without bread for their families. Their only show then is to try
it again. We have so many good farmers who depend entirely on a tobacco
crop for their money, who will be left in a fix, and our stock men who
have small herds of cattle, with nothing to take them through the winter.
It is a serious matter to the farmer, while our town brothers are also
affected, for with the failing of the farmer, so goes it with the town
man.

[Illustration: A Cup of Good Coffee
To get a really good cup of coffee you’ll have to start back of the
actual making; you’ll have to look to the roasting and the grinding. In
ARBUCKLES’ you have a coffee that’s scientifically roasted, and delivered
to you with all the pores of the berry hermetically sealed. You’re sure
of a good cup of coffee because all the coffee flavor and aroma are kept
intact until you want it. The fame of ARBUCKLES’ induced other coffee
packers to put out imitations of it. These imitations cost the grocer
(and you) a cent a pound less than ARBUCKLES’. But don’t be tempted to
buy a package of some other coffee when you can get
Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee
for it is actually less expensive than the cheap kind; goes
further—besides being better flavored, more satisfying.
You will find a list of useful articles in each package or Arbuckles’
Coffee. A definite part of one of these articles becomes yours when you
buy the coffee. The one you select from the list will be sent you on
condition that you send to our Notion Department a certain number of
